Yes, but I couldn't use the corresponding retainer on the door, it was too
large and didn't allow for adjustments.
I solved the problem by using a square drive, flat head screw with the
square socket slightly rounded at the surface with a countersink. This made
a recess for the bullet and still left enough socket to adjust it up and
down.
I bought the hinges for the lid but couldn't find anything I liked for the
side wings. I finally use a steel pin (16 penny nail) in the top and bottom
of the wing. At the bottom, I used a short piece of 3/8" brass bolt with a
hole in the center for the pin. At the top I used a piece of brass stock
( 3/8" W x 1/4" H).
Everything seems to work OK.

Maybe he could offer a box full of jewelry instead of paying for
college and graduate/medical school. He should come out, adjusted for
inflation, roughly a million bucks ahead!
Good job on the box, Tom! What's up next?

I was surprised to find that the hardware cost as much as the wood.
About $40 for cherry and maple inserts and $40 for hardware.
Can't guess on the hours.
It sat on the back shelf since last November and
I would pull it out and work on it when the inspiration hit me.
Thanks for all the good comment.
